Tirunagari-TirunAngur and The Veena

Music to the ears

 

What does the instrument 'veena' has to do with these divya desam-s. It is said the 'veena' is a perfect instrument as it resounds the svaram without any break whatsover. The sound in the veena reflects the svaram continuoulsly and there is no break at all even for an instant.

 

This takes me back to february this year at the VaikunTa viNNagaram sannithi where the way the pAsuram-s were recited.

 

Usually, the pasuram-s in other divay desams are chanted with a small pause in-/between the lines. Here, there is no break in between the lines.

 

This results in wonderful musical continuity and melody. I can vividly recall the words of one of the Tirunagari AdhyApakar-s words to Sreekanth svami:

" Here there is no break in between the lines. Please consult AthAn svAmi"

Sri Koil AthAn Vijyaraghavan svami underlined this point around 11 pm on that day.

 

Just imagine chanting continuously without break the following lines with appropriate ups and downs
